A dealer like Tom would have a better opinion, but I am not sure its that high. There is a reason there is such a large jump, usually having to do...
LikeTom said, its a data point. You are very right about crackouts distorting these numbers, but since they are the only hard numbers anyone has,...
NO, you are correct. I have some dealers who call me when they get ancients, since they do not specialize in these and prefer to just get rid of...
Yeah, I am wondering if its another person who looks up the price of a coin and automatically takes the highest price because they don't know how...
The one thing sir I would caution is that is still depends on the specific coin. A $5000 problem free, collector grade, highly desired coin the...
I agree. Its the same as in any business. Look at it this way, there is X dollars to handle a coin, and then X needed to carry the money. So, if...
Calbrey, how we know that is these always start out DN, then the emperor's name. Yours has DNHO, and Honorius is the only late roman emperor...

Maybe its a disappointment today, but I know a couple of people who make their living going around to the states and buying up some great coins at...
Nice one. I am actually a little into these coins, since this is the period in which I find what I call "art deco" obverse styles. Just on some of...
"Title" in the legal sense means proof of ownership. It does not mean the same as people think of, like a car title piece of paper. Title for...
Looks like standard Constaninopolis reverses to me. These are a little lower style than average maybe, but doesn't look barbaric to me.
I actually thought of you the other day sir. I was able to buy up a collection of all BU world coins, about 1200. I bought them mainly due to you...
I disagree with the premise not a lot of people in the USA are serious coin collectors if you are trying to equate colleting only US coins to mean...
I agree with Mark. Way too many issues on the reverse for me to ever consider paying full price. I count six issues on the reverse, (one is...
